Get a soup pot or other large pot, brown & crumble the ground beef and diced onion. I also like to add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This is totally optional. I do it because I really dislike unseasoned ground meat.

Add in all the other ingredients and bring to a low boil. Once it’s boiling lightly reduce the heat to medium low or low heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

Serve with all the toppings you love. I always do sliced avocado, shredded cheese, and sour cream. My kids always love to dip some tortilla chips into their chili as well.

Recipe Notes

The cans are the standard size 15 oz cans.

Use a white onion, yellow onion, or a sweet onion.

If you prefer less of a tomato based chili then add about 1/2 cup of water to the chili to make the tomato flavor less strong and thin it out.

It seems all spaghetti sauce jars are different sizes. Just get one around 20-26 oz and you will be fine. Also, pick out whatever sauce you want. There are so many varieties so try some and see which one you love. I usually go for a garlic one or roasted red pepper.

I always use a packet of mild taco seasoning. You can also use a reduced-sodium packet of taco seasoning but I find that it really has no flavor to it. Therefore the end result of the food is bland.
